Interights

INTERIGHTS works to promote respect for human rights through the use of law. We do so by providing legal expertise to lawyers, judges, human rights defenders and other partners concerning international and comparative human rights law.
The main focus of our work is strategic litigation – bringing or supporting cases in critical areas where there is either a potential for human rights standards to be developed or where existing standards are under threat.
INTERIGHTS complements its litigation work through legal capacity building and standard setting activities and by publishing and disseminating legal information.
Through all of these activities, we seek both to promote the enforcement of human rights standards at the international, regional and domestic levels and to empower legal partners around the world to do the same.
